History NightmareFuel / HelluvaBoss

* Even though Eddie was a total dick, watching a child get shot, dismembered, ripped open with a chainsaw, shoved into a bag, and then get handed back to his mother is still a pretty horrific sight.

''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'', on the surface, may be nothing more than a quirky little BlackComedy series about the daily lives of the employees of an [[MurderInc assassination business]] operating out of Hell, aiding the damned in taking revenge on those who wronged them. However, considering that this show is not only made by the creator of ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'', a show already packed full of horrifying terrors, but also shares a universe with it, it's not all that surprising to see [[NightmareFuel moments like these]] on this show... though it somehow manages to up the scares and psychological frights '''fourteenfold.'''

!! Season 1
[[folder:Murder Family]]
* Mrs. Mayberry's breakdown and murder of her husband and attempted murder of Martha. It's especially disturbing because she seems completely normal before she snaps. After being reminded it was her husband's birthday, she starts twitching at the idea that she forgot. Then when she actually sees Jarold cheating, [[TranquilFury she goes completely silent]] (with HiddenEyes included), strangles and throws one of her students through the roof when she tries to stop her, brutally attacks Jarold and Martha with a chainsaw and shoots them, then when she realizes that the kids were all still watching it all go down through the camera, she kills herself out of guilt.
** InUniverse, the students are terrified and traumatized of the whole ordeal with their beloved teacher snapping like that, since she forgot to turn off the camera when she enters her house. It's little wonder they see the cheating woman Martha in a different light when she recovers. The chalkboard even describes the lesson of the day as ''"How to cope with trauma."''
* The reveal of Martha and her family actually being a bunch of cannibalistic, Satan-worshiping psychopaths.
** It's not just that; there are multiple shots of them with [[SlasherSmile Slasher Smiles]] that make them look even more demonic than an actual demon, with Martha sporting one right before Moxxie shoots her that would give ''[[WebAnimation/HazbinHotel Alastor]]'' a run for his money. Millie is ''completely right'' when she says that [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters humans can have all kinds of hidden nastiness within them]].
** Before TheReveal, an [[FreezeFrameBonus eagle-eyed viewer]] can notice several hints in Martha's house that something is ''very'' wrong with her. Among these are human pelvis wallpaper, a lamp made of skin and a spinal cord, and even a mounted ''human head.''
** TheReveal heavily recontextualized the first half of the episode, particularly Martha's past, [[ReallyGetsAround promiscuous behavior]]. She regularly is having sex with men all over town basically at random. It's probably safe to assume that most, if not all, of these men ended up being her victims after she lured them back to her house. Mr. Mayberry was probably her next target after they hooked up, with Mrs. Mayberry's sudden psychotic break being the ''only'' thing that eventually led to Martha's downfall. Most likely, this is why Ralphie doesn't seem to care about her extramarital activities: His wife brings home the meat.
* The kids of the family keep a collection of skinned bodies as leftovers of their "pets" after "playing" with them, and they were fully intent on having "fun" with Moxxie in the same way.
** Moxxie also happens to be tied to a [[Film/TexasChainsawMassacre chair made out of a mummified human corpse]].
** Just the ''reveal'' of [[GenuineHumanHide their playroom]]. Sweet dreams...
** The little brother speaks just a little slower than his sister. They start a line together, but end it in an out-of-phase way that almost makes him echo her, and comes across as seriously disconcerting.
* Martha chasing Blitzo through a forest trying to blow his head off with her shotgun is portrayed like a scene from a slasher horror film, but with the killer/victim roles reversed. That does ''nothing'' to make it any less terrifying or heart-racing.
-->'''Martha:''' I know you're hurtin', little devil! [[FalseReassurance I promise, I can make that pain go real quick.]] Just let Mama Martha ''put a bullet in your pretty little skull!''
* While pretty funny as well considering who it is, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Blitzo's sheer ''malice'']] when he tells Moxxie not to screw up again or he will "fuck" him and Millie is more then a little disturbing. Not to mention, Moxxie's horrified expression during the scene shows that he seems to be [[BlackComedyRape genuinely afraid of that threat]]. While Blitzo's immediate switch back to cheerfully remarking they should head home plays said threat for laughs, it suggests that he's a MoodSwinger who could easily make good on said threat, forget about it, or get distracted by something else...''without any indication of which way he'll go''.
-->'''Blitzo:''' Apology accepted! But, if you ever pull a stunt like that again, I will ''fuck'' you and your wife. Alrighty, job well done!
* In the end, Moxxie decides to give the surviving family one last chance at redemption for the sake of the kids, by calling the police. Problem is, Moxxie wasn't counting on PoliceBrutality being a thing. Upon surrounding the house, the cops open fire with a ''helicopter-mounted missile,'' blowing the house - and, presumably, the family with it - to smoldering bits. Even if you take into account the possibility that Moxxie's call helped the police realize just how many people the cannibal family murdered, the cops had no problem using lethal force on ''children''. Moxxie, for all his professionalism, is rightfully horrified.
* Stolas laying out his stipulations for Blitzo's [[SexForServices continued use of the grimoire]] in clear, cold, certain terms, absolutely aware that Blitzo is in very real danger and ''not caring one iota''. When Stolas starts to go off on a tangent about what he wants to happen at their next encounter, Blitzo briefly gets a look on his face that's somewhere between disgusted and agonized, but shakes it off.
** Even after the phone has been forgotten in the woods, Stolas can ''still'' be heard rambling about his depraved intentions.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Loo Loo Land]]
* Loo Loo Land is [[NoOSHACompliance completely falling apart]], one poor imp gets crushed by a falling sign letter, and the Loo Loo mascot ''dares'' people to try and sue if they get hurt. A couple of young imps even get crushed after an animatronic's head falls onto them.
** [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood The father immediately blames his son for ruining the picture by getting crushed and wishes he was never born, while the mother looks disappointed and even the baby joins in.]] What really drives the horror is how ''human'' the imp family looks.
* The imps trying to kidnap Stolas are mostly seen as minor inconveniences to him and don't phase the demon noble at all. The one exception to this is near the end of the episode where one almost interrupts his moment with his daughter Octavia, where he turns the imp to stone with just a glare. It's a chilling reminder that despite acting like a bumbling but loving father then and a horny businessman most of the time, Stolas is still a demon lord.
** Especially creepy is that, like an owl, [[ExorcistHead he just spins his head all the way around]] and glares at the threatening imp. That's all it takes to immediately turn the imp to stone.
* [[RobotClown Robo Fizz]] in general. He's a manic, wildly-moving mechanical MonsterClown with [[ExtendableArms extendable]] RubberHoseLimbs and a killer SlasherSmile (especially when taunting Blitz by asking if anyone loves him). It's no wonder he's an in-universe example to poor Octavia, who as a little owlet was driven to tears on likely many occasions because of the robot's terrifying performance, who noticeably doesn't care at all.
** This is to say nothing of the point when his circus tent and the other animatronics catch fire, upon which we see the burning, shadowed endoskeleton of Robo Fizz advancing towards Blitzo from a sea of green flames, his deterioration ''melting his face'' and giving him a downright nightmarish appearance complete with [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]]. His [[LaughingMad looping, distorted, sinister laugh]] doesn't help either.
** The other mascot animatronics are even ''worse'' due to their supposed cheap maintenance, or lack thereof. They malfunction or have exposed machine parts that give them a creepy presence. [[BodyHorror And then they catch on fire...]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Spring Broken]]
* When Moxxie goes to discuss the parking spot with Verosika and her crew, they outright [[AttemptedRape sexually assault]] him, with him being CoveredInKisses ''and'' bruises when he gets away. Is it any wonder Blitzo gets pissed?
** They're quite lucky that Millie wasn't around to see them do that, given what happened to the fish monster after it tried to eat him...
** Assuming the silhouettes weren't simply exaggerating how terrifying their imminent deed was, Verosika and her fellow succubi/incubi can transform into ''much'' more monstrous forms -- reminiscent of shark-jawed snakes or worms, if the shadows are accurate!
* A great deal of induced debauchery and carnage get unleashed in the mortal realm over parking rights. While all played for laughs, it makes it abundantly clear that the denizens of Hell are happy to trivialize suffering and sin over petty matters.
* Loona on two separate occasions has guys come onto her with clearly unpleasant intentions, made worse with the second guy being one of Verosika's incubi that tried to charm her into sleeping with him. While Loona could easily handle herself, and she had Blitzo as backup just in case, the fact two different guys tried to force themselves onto her really gives credence to Blitzo's statement about there being a lot of "freaks" that would love to have their way with "young vulnerable goth girls", regardless of if they consent or not.
* The fish monster created by Verosika recklessly tossing her "Beelzejuice" flask into the water is utterly horrifying. It's basically a rampaging {{Kaiju}}, with the series' BlackComedy meaning it winds up killing quite a few people in ways that end up darkly hilarious, and the mutation gave it a maw full of [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily hundreds of thousands of sharp teeth]], which it shows off in full when swallowing people. Even Millie's [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome moment]] beating it to death is pretty gruesome, slashing off its tongue to save Moxxie before [[KillItThroughItsStomach leaping into its stomach]] and [[GuttedLikeAFish literally fish-gutting it]] from the inside-out.
** Even worse, this just happened because it was exposed to something like Hell's ''alcohol''. What happens if some more caustic Hell substances gets onto Earth...
** Also for consideration; the flask only ended up in the sea because it bounced/was pushed by the spring breakers. Imagine what that stuff could have done to a human if they had decided to catch the flask and drink it like it was any other alcohol...
* Loona saying she was almost 18 when Blitzo adopted her brings up three nightmare fuel scenarios depending on how Hellhound adopting works.
** (A) Loona ages out of the system and is then forced to fend for herself, and as they're in Hell, the orphanage would probably just throw her out onto the street without helping her look for a job, or even force her into indentured servitude with a new master.
** (B) Loona would be treated like any animal at the pound who has stayed for too long and would be ''euthanized'', with zero regards to whether or not she is put down humanely. Makes it even more grim when she says [[DeathSeeker she never needed Blitzo's help]], whether she meant it or not.
*** Alternatively, Loona could have made into then sold as a BreedingSlave to create more hellhounds until she either couldn't produce anymore or died. And given the poor conditions that many dams are subjected to then add the fact that this is Hell we are talking about...
** (C) Her AbusiveParents were so horrifyingly inhumane that [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe getting kidnapped]] and adopted by a narcissistic hitman ''was a step up''.

[[folder:C.H.E.R.U.B]]
* This episode has a strong focus on BlackComedy, so most of the jokes, while funny, can be unsettling to some.
* The way Loopty Goopty dies is very unpleasant when one thinks about it. His machine aged him to the point where he has a heart attack and dies. Meanwhile, his partner Lyle Lipton turns into a suicidal, overweight blob barely hanging onto life support.
* When Blitzo points out to Loopty that if I.M.P succeeds in killing Lyle, he'll be stuck with him in Hell forever. Loopty, who up till now simply came off as a goofy cartoon villain, responds by whipping out an arsenal of weaponry and torture equipment while gleefully declaring that he's "counting on that". While we later learn it was a lie to be reunited with his friend and colleague, this more or less AscendedFridgeHorror that some I.M.P clients are willing to torture the people they want revenge on after they've been assassinated.
* The tour guy's response to I.M.P jumping out of the tour bus to kill Lyle is to simply tell the people that [[CasualDangerDialogue rich people being targeted for murder happens all the time]]. Even if Lyle is a greedy asshole, the fact that people treat others potentially being killed so casually doesn't really sit well.
* The Cherubs try and reignite Lyle's will to live by showing him the wonder of nature. The Imps strike back by showing him an adorable rabbit family that is ambushed and ripped apart by wolves, [[NoKillLikeOverkill followed by a bear ambushing one of the wolves, followed by a lumberjack felling a tree on said bear, followed by a beehive from the tree falling on his head and panicking him enough to]] ''[[AnArmAndALeg accidentally saw his own arms off]]'', followed by a [[XenophobicHerbivore random buck deer]] ''impaling'' him to death. Even Blitzo is momentarily shocked, possibly horrified, by the sheer carnage (but nonetheless happy about crushing Lyle's spirit). Both are proven right and wrong: Nature ''is'' beautiful, but [[EverythingTryingToKillYou most animals would gladly tear an unprepared, undertrained human to shreds as much as they would their prey]], [[TheChainOfHarm and even the perpetrators of death and violence are victims of nature (and their own stupidity) themselves]].
** For bonus points, the predators are ''not'' disgusting up close, instead being portrayed with anime-style adorableness; despite their vicious instincts, they are still nature's children, yet are impulsively forced to kill each other, or suffer undignified deaths from men - if said men aren't giving themselves undignified deaths first. Even "herbivore" prey, like the deer buck, can be just as deadly as the wolves in the right situation.
** No explicit context is given as to why a bear would casually disregard the typical strategy of staying the fuck away from a pack of feeding wolves, but the lumberjack loudly tearing up its habitat and driving it confused might be an explanation. It would also explain why the deer buck chose to murder the lumberjack instead of running away from a roaring chainsaw. Additionally, all that habitat exploitation will ''still'' go on thanks to human progress!
* The Cherubs being so easily and casually kicked out of Heaven over an accident, and not given a single way back or a chance to explain themselves, [[HellOfAHeaven implies that Heaven is quite a nastily strict place]]. [[SugaryMalice The unsettlingly cheerful way Deerie does it doesn't help matters]].
** Earlier, a FauxtivationalPoster visible in the background of C.H.E.R.U.B's commercial, apparently made by God himself says "Surround yourself with people who will lift you up. So ditch your loser friends who you can't use". It [[JerkassGods doesn't paint a very good picture of God]], does it?
** The way Collin is treated in general (used as beast bait, forced to do most of the paperwork, slapped around for appropriately panicking), along with his skin tone and voice, horrifyingly implies that ''racism is alive and dancing in Heaven''; keep in mind that real-life religion agrees that there are hierarchical ''castes'' of Angels in the Old and New Testaments. Keenie is outright racist against the imps, strengthening this morbid theory.
** The fact that Deerie didn't convict C.H.E.R.U.B of mass-manslaughter-through-incompetence, which would have solidified their justification for exiling them, implies that either (A) they are apathetic/ignorant of the ''billions'' of civilians who are killed through genocide or killing sprees because nobody in Heaven knows or gives a crap about them, or (B) they ''wanted'' all those people to die and didn't like their plans getting derailed by the ''one trillionaire'' losing his life alongside them. [[TakeAThirdOption Or kind of both]].
** Really, the entirety of the Deerie scene has horrifying ramifications for, not so much this show, BUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE HAZBIN HOTEL UNIVERSE. As Charlie's mission is to get damned souls redeemed so they can enter heaven so the yearly purges wouldn't be necessary, but if Deerie's actions are to be believed, then Heaven wouldn't let ANY damned soul in, EVEN IF THEY'RE GENUINELY REFORMED, making Charlies entire quest pointless.
* The metaphorical metaphysical battle between Heaven and Hell for human souls apparently can get *very* hot as the imps were eventually able to incite the otherwise pacifistic cherubs into a violent brawl where neither side seemed to care about bystander casualties.
* I.M.P seems to be getting good enough with the tome that they can retreat from a situation with nobody noticing and sticking freelance guardian angels with the blame. The fact that even angels might not be able to protect someone from the assassins is chilling.

[[folder:The Harvest Moon Festival]]
* Millie killed ''nine'' people just because she got carried away in a ''competition''.
** Her sister Sallie Mae is also quite the killer, just that unlike Millie she's better at hiding her body count.
* TheReveal of Striker's reasons for being at the ranch. Moxxie spots a peculiar glow coming from below the former's door, and sneaks into his room to find a powerful blessed rifle in a gun case. The kind, as Moxxie muses aloud, that could ''kill demon royalty''. [[RightBehindMe And then it turns out that Striker's standing right behind him...]]
* Striker's ensuing attempt to murder Moxxie. [[AloneWithThePsycho It's played terrifyingly straight]], with the latter's attempts to fight the former off ultimately failing. Some fans have noticed that the suggestiveness of the scene leads some to initially fear a [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil ...darker fate for Moxxie,]] as multiple shots show him squirming underneath Striker with just their legs showing, being cornered as Striker advances with a predatory grin, and clawing and hissing at him as Striker pins him to the floor.[[labelnote:*]]It should be noted that choking someone out, as Striker appeared to be doing, isn't a maneuver meant to kill someone, only to render them unconscious, and Striker had demonstrated before that he is completely able to kill when he wants to. While he likely just needed Moxxie alive as leverage, ''Satan knows'' what he would have done between then and his meet with Blitzo had Millie not shown up, and it's probably not something that should be dwelled upon.[[/labelnote]] There's a brief HopeSpot when Millie races into the room and jumps Striker as Moxxie passes out, but he fights ''her'' off, too. [[PragmaticVillainy He only lets them both live]] because he wants to talk Blitzo into joining him while having some leverage, and he [[NotWorthKilling doesn't think they're worth killing]].
** To get the furious Millie off his back, Striker slams her against the wall so hard, he injures her arm enough to break some bones, which can be seen through an open wound.
** And in the process of Striker tossing M & M into the basement, Millie gets her leg ''caught in a bear trap!'' She tries to reassure Moxxie that she's fine, but the quiver in her voice - and the cry of pain she lets out - prove otherwise.
** Millie's [[UnstoppableRage expression]] when stabbing Striker. "Seeing red" would be an understatement. Suddenly, her murdering nine competitors for the sake of winning a competition suddenly doesn't feel so ridiculous for her anymore.
** Exactly how Striker attempts to kill Moxxie deserves further examination, if only because it manages to be both uncomfortably intimate AND hideously cold-blooded. He speaks softly and genially while Moxxie confronts him - and slips inside and shuts the door just as quietly behind him. Then he goes on the attack without warning, using his ''tail'' to grab and fling Moxxie across the room by the throat, not even bothering to attempt convincing him like he did with Blitzo. Almost before Moxxie comes to a stop on the floor, Striker straddles him and begins ''strangling'' him, staring him in the eye with a grin all the while and barely seeming to notice the one feeble swipe Moxxie does manage to land on his cheek. When Moxxie briefly manages to break away, Striker drags him back, spins them both away from the door, then drags them both back down to the floor and tries strangling Moxxie ''again'' - this time covering his mouth and pinning the smaller imp against his own chest, effectively preventing Moxxie from wiggling away a second time.
** His attempt at a BreakingSpeech against Blitzo deserves mention as well; regardless of whether Blitzo was actually affected by his words or simply playing them up to buy Moxxie some time, Striker's attitude and demeanor was perfectly tuned for wrapping Blitzo around his finger, all the way down to [[WallPinOfLove cornering Blitzo against the wall]] and getting into his personal space when he was (supposedly) going to seal the deal. As mentioned above, he also injected a disturbing amount of intimacy into his conversation, to the point that it is clear that, to him, it's just another tool to dupe everyone around him.
** All in all, everything seen about Striker makes it clear that he is not a swell guy by any means. Arguably, he is the ''darkest'' character depicted on HB so far, showing a complete lack of empathy, an ability to completely fool and manipulate others, and a ''disturbing'' amount of suggestiveness towards those he perceives as weaker which gives some rather scary implications, and some have noted that he checks off a lot of qualities for a narcissist and even a ''clinical psychopath,'' both of which are qualities that are found in several RealLife high-profile ''serial murderers and rapists.''
* Despite being out-fought by Blitzo and Moxxie, Striker does what no other antagonist up to this point managed -- he manages to ''[[VillainExitStageLeft get away]]''. And given how he's vowed to see the contract through, it's likely he and I.M.P will run afoul of each other again.
* While the identity of Striker's client is played for BlackComedy, it's still rather frightening to realize that Stella's so infuriated by Stolas' infidelity that she's willing to ''hire an assassin to kill him.''
** Not the imp that Stolas cheated with, mind you -- Stella's putting the hit out on ''Stolas''. Assuming she isn't doing so in front of him as some form of warning, and/or this isn't par for the course for demonic royalty in this series (putting out assassination attempts that aren't meant to succeed, but to cause inconvenience), she has no problem killing her daughter's beloved father out of fury at being cheated on.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Truth Seekers]]
* The hallucinations caused by the Truth Gas are a psychological take on this, as both Moxxie and Blitzo have to confront unsettling aspects of their lives -- the former has to face his issues with his boss; the latter is forced to examine how his own toxic habits and fear of vulnerability have made it hard for him to open up, even though he just wants to be loved.
** While Moxxie's hallucination looks like something out of a Disney movie, Blitzo's own hallucination looks like something out of Warner Bros. bad trip hell. Unlike Moxxie, who just has Blitzo himself to deal with, Blitzo has to deal with not only Moxxie, but Striker, Fizzarolli and Verosika all tearing him apart verbally. Even Stolas joins in, the imagery suggesting that Blitzo views their relationship as one between master and servant. While Moxxie eventually comes to some kind of reconciliation, Blitzo's sequence ends with everyone taunting him that he is going to die alone.
* Although the fight scene between I.M.P and the D.H.O.R.K.S. is one long moment of awesome, some of the ways that the agents die are extremely horrific, such as the agent who gets all four of his limbs cut off by Millie and presumably left to slowly and painfully bleed to death if the shock didn't kill him, or the agent who Moxxie accidentally shoots in the dick when the latter is startled by Blitzo. Thankfully Blitzo decides to MercyKill the castrated agent to end his suffering.
* Three imps and a hellhound, the lowest of Hell's hierarchy, racked up over 70 on-screen kills against a horde of (presumably) highly trained agents. These are the ''weakest'' beings in Hell, and [[CurbStompBattle they didn't suffer a single casualty themselves during the entire battle]]. It makes you wonder; how much worse would things have gone had they somehow captured a higher order of demon, such as [[TheDreaded Alastor]], [[FallenAngel Lucifer himself]], or even just [[AgentPeacock Angel Dust]] or [[AxCrazy Striker]]? Regardless of how many missteps D.H.O.R.K.S. made, it just goes to show how woefully unprepared humanity is for demonic encounters no matter the scale.
** Worth mentioning that the D.H.O.R.K.S. agents ''were'' devastatingly limiting themselves by only using weapons from Japan's Edo period for the sake of looking "badass" instead of using more advanced weaponry or even more gasses since that did prove effective on Blitzo and Moxxie. However, I.M.P has more than shown to be skilled with firearms and [[MadeOfIron are very resilient creatures,]] and, oh yeah, they have [[TheDreaded Stolas]] on their side in case anything happens.
* Stolas possessing the corpses of the dead agents and using them to draw out a summoning circle isn't just chilling to the bone to witness, but it also tells the audience that a demon like Stolas doesn't ''need'' their Grimoire to access the human world.
** Stolas also doesn't appear as his usual self at first, but in what might be his ''true'' [[GameFace form:]] a huge feral-looking four-eyed owl, with needle fangs lining the mouth between his beak, that's completely shadowed and glowing red. He then screeches right in One and Two's faces before turning back to normal and giving them the mother of all [[DeathGlare Death Glares]]... [[NotWorthKilling Then he walks away]].
--->'''Stolas''': ''(While possessing Two and pulling an ExorcistHead)'' [[VoiceOfTheLegion What's the matter, demon hunter]]? '''''[[BewareTheSillyOnes Never seen a REAL demon before]]?'''''
*** Honestly, the look on Agent Two's face when Stolas first possesses her...it looks as though she's suffering a mental variant of a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
** If you listen closely, you can hear Stolas ''[[EvilLaugh laughing maniacally]]'' as his form pours out of Agent Two's mouth.
** To put it in perspective, "Loo Loo Land" implied Stolas didn't ''need'' to hire I.M.P as bodyguards and [[DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel just used it as an excuse]] to spend time with Octavia uninterrupted and/or shamelessly flirt with Blitzo. Pretty safe to say that was definitely the case.
** To put it in another perspective: Stolas's rescue looked like a legitimate ''horror movie''.
** Stolas is so often portrayed in this show as kind of a prissy, sex-starved and out-of-touch character, and he is, but everyone always forgets that he's Prince Stolas of the Ars Goetia. In the actual Ars Goetia, the description of Prince Stolas is basically translated to screen for the show, and it's noted on the Wikipedia page for the Ars Goetia that Stolas commands 26 legions of demons. Stolas is highly educated and intelligent, talented with magic and if he actually can command that number of legions, is a warrior in his own right. Considering his demonic form is the stuff of horror movies, and that a "legion" as a unit of measurement for the military can be from 5,200 to 6,000 soldiers (totaling 156,000 at most), Stolas is definitely NOT someone anybody should cross. Blitzo's expression as he watches Stolas make his way into the living world through Agent Two and the reanimated corpses of the other agents says it all and really calls his power dynamic with Stolas into stark focus.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:OZZIE'S]]
* While we haven't seen what he's capable of yet, Asmodeus is so powerful that even ''Stolas'' can't do anything to stand up to his mocking. And given how powerful Stolas is...
** It is very fortunate that Asmodeus didn't find out Stolas is loaning the Grimoire to Blitzo. Even if it's an arrangement revolving around sex, that's still a violation of Stolas's duty and Asmodeus could have punished him for it on the spot.
** Not to mention the fact that, in many occult texts, Asmodeus is a ''king'' of Hell and is even said to be second only to Lucifer himself in power and authority. Who knows what would have happened if Stolas so much as ''dared'' to talk back?
** Moxxie and Millie are also lucky that Ozzie seems to be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure (by hell's standards, anyway) and merely kicked them out of the club rather than do something of the lines of MakeAnExampleOfThem for showing true love in a house of lust and whacking Fizz over the head with a guitar respectively.
* The real Fizzarolli is likely much less terrifying than his toybotic counterparts, given he's much more alive, much more emotional, and seemingly much less willing to go on the fritz and attack people, but many of the same basic points about Robo Fizz still apply to him, namely being a stretchy demon MonsterClown with a very notable SlasherSmile. His introductory speech also raises yet another point of concern about Loo Loo Land's operation, regarding the fact they used a {{Sexbot}} as a ''children's entertainer''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Queen Bee]]
* When the four Hellhounds jump into the massive fruity drink Bee summons, they are shown to be completely spaced out with wide eyes and foaming at the mouth after only being in there for a few seconds. What was in that stuff?
* Beelzebub AKA Bee is a NiceGirl most of the time, but when she gets angry she shows that she ''is'' a Lord of Hell, growing to massive size and opening a ThirdEye on her forehead.
-->'''Bee:''' ''[[VoiceOfTheLegion Don't fuck with me!]]''
* Blitzo very nearly gets taken advantage of by a much larger imp in his drunken state.
* Bee's EmotionEater status can come across as this during her song. Between flinging at least one guest into a giant punch bowl and the handful of comments she makes throughout the episode about the effect her guests' emotions have on her, her hard party attitude can almost seem more like an elaborate honey trap: You get all the food, booze, and whatever else you can gorge yourself on, and she gets to gorge on your energy while you do. If not for the genuine concern she shows for Blitzø, she might have come across less as a party girl and more as an energy vampire.
--> '''Bee:''' Your Queen Bee brings the sweet stuff,
-->so keep making me that ''motherfucking honey!''
** Being in her domain, how much option does one have to NOT overconsume? Bee might come across as a friendly, if insistent, party girl, but does anyone there even have the option of temperance, or will they suffer the worst kind of peer (superior) pressure till they give in and indulge?
* Crossing into TearJerker territory, we also have Blitzø's drunken mumbling as Loona settles him on the couch. Dying alone is an uncomfortably real fear for many, as is fading away into a "wrinkly, old, withered, waste" as one grows older. Leave it to Helluva Boss to whip out the existential dread at the end of such a fun episode...
* Bee is the sin of Gluttony, and throughout the episode we see (mostly) comical examples of overconsumption, from alochol, to food, to likely harder substances, and things that would be poisonous to dogs. If physiology and physics were going to factor in, how many deaths would there be from Bee's parties from alcohol poisoning, overdoses, body damage from overconsumption, and poisoning?

!!Season 2
[[folder:The Circus]]
* When we first see Stolas's father Paimon, he makes a ''lovely'' display of his shapeshifting powers, cycling through several different forms.
* In the photo Paimon shows Stolas of Stella, she's [[EnfantTerrible violently strangling a dog.]] Is it any wonder why Stolas starts bawling upon being told that he's marrying her? Not to mention, she raises a hand to him at the end of the episode ''very'' easily and Stolas managed to grab her wrist to stop her.
* Paimon casually offering to ''purchase'' a six-year-old Blitzo as a friend for his son, painting a ''very'' dark image of his code of ethics (or lack thereof). Blitzo's dad sells him off to Paimon for five dollars and a condom before gaslighting him into going along with the plan. It's no wonder why he has such a dim view of his father. There's also the uncomfortable tone of voice and body language Blitzo's dad uses when Blitzo says he's scared to take the job. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "There are scarier things - aren't there?"]]
* Paimon slapping Stolas on the back of his head [[DisproportionateRetribution for the crime of simply bowing to an imp.]]
* Blitzo and Stolas happily playing "treasure hunt" in which they throw as much of the Goetia Family's wealth out the window as possible - literally. It's cute until you begin to wonder how Paimon reacted when he found out about the little imp's "game" of throwing countless valuables into the wallet of an amoral circus manager.
* Crosses over with TearJerker: Stolas' arranged marriage with Stella is a very toxic one, having to suffer his wife's constant emotional and verbal abuse, character assassination and passive aggression, resorting to both antidepressants and [[INeedAFreakingDrink borderline alcoholism]] just to keep himself mentally afloat. Worst of all, even ''after'' Stolas cheats on her, Stella still insists on living with him for no other reason but to [[ForTheEvulz continue emotionally-torturing him]]. There's also her disturbing comment about how Stolas was with her in bed, notably how [[LieBackAndThinkOfEngland he would just lay there staring at the ceiling while she did all the work.]] And, of course, ''this'' is the tidbit that Stella decides to share with her friends to which they all side with her on...
* During the episode's finale, Stella demonstrates just how much she ''doesn't'' love Stolas during their argument -- not only does she admit with a smirk that she enjoys tormenting him, but when Stolas brings up his wish for a divorce, she gets enraged and tries to ''slap'' him. Stolas catches the intended palm, but given how quickly he caught it and [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror how little he reacted]], [[FridgeHorror it makes one wonder]] just ''how many times'' she's done this to him?
* We also see how how depressed Stolas is with his marriage with Stella. It’s so bad that he takes anti depressant pills and at the “Not Divorced” party he eats a lot and drinks a whole bottle of alcohol. It actually shows that if Octavia was never born or Blitzo ran into him again, Stolas would have been an alcoholic. It's worth noting that the bottle he picks at both the party and the aftermath of OZZIE'S is ''absinthe,'' which was historically bottled at around 45%-72% alcohol-by-volume but in modern times can be as strong as 90% ABV. And he's mixing it with antidepressants, which is an unfortunately popular suicide method and equally common cause of accidental deaths. Either he's become actively suicidal, or he's already well into the alcoholism - or both. (Admittedly, being an extremely powerful archdemon might protect him, but still unnerving either way.)

[[folder:Seeing Stars]]
* Blitzo calling Stolas about Octavia stealing the Grimoire and teleporting off to an unknown location with no way to get either of them back. As the imp sighs in relief thinking everything's fine, [[PapaWolf the prince]] busts down the door in ''[[OneWingedAngel full demon mode]]'', yelling his name in anger.
* Blitzo's adoption of Loona is shown, [[OrphanageOfFear and it's not pretty]].
** Loona was locked in what was essentially a kennel with other hellhounds (including non-sapient ones), and she shrinks into a TroubledFetalPosition when the site's owner nonchalantly mentions that Loona will be "out of our hair" when she ages out next month, implying that she's going to be thrown out on the streets. Little wonder that the very issue of adoption hits a TraumaButton for Blitzo.
** Some really dark visual storytelling was done when we first see Loona. She's seen sharing a cell with a [[EnfantTerrible younger Hellhound male]] who had a bloody, nailed up bat with him. Even worse, before she growls at him and turns her legs away, he appears to be trying to STICK THE BAT IN HER VAGINA.
** Given this is Hell and hellhounds are treated in much the same manner as dogs, aging out of the system could potentially mean ''euthanization''. Loona may have been crying because she knew that she only had a month left to live.
** Even if it doesn't mean euthanization, it's still Hell. We've seen four different rings of hell now in the show (Greed, Wrath, Lust, and Pride) and none of them are safe or even terribly friendly places for adult demons with paying jobs and stable living conditions. Even Stolas gets stalked, attacked, and publicly ridiculed throughout his time in the show. Imagine being an orphaned teenager who's spent most or all of her life in a confined living situation where your meals and shelter were provided ''for you'' by someone else, possibly determinant upon your behavior but largely ''regardless'' of anything you said or did, and now suddenly you're on the streets of Hell with no family, no friends, and no idea where to go or what to do next. Loona was staring at an early grave no matter what, and she knew it.
** You'll notice that the demon running the facility is a hellhound herself. The implications of that are... horrifying. Particularly since this is effectively a kill shelter where the inmates are ''people'' who are adopted out (or potentially ''sold'') like housepets. Hellhounds are even more marginalized than imps.
* BlackComedy aside, the fact that Blitzo, Stolas, Loona, and Octavia, literal demons from Hell itself, show more sympathetic qualities than any human in Los Angeles speaks volumes [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters as to how messed up Earth is]].
* The water in L.A consisting of 2% sewage runoff and 98% ''acid''. We get to see the nasty effects of this when Stolas throws a bottle of water at the sitcom director.
* While on the set of the sitcom, Blitzo's rambling jokes drag on for so long that one audience member is driven ''insane'', seemingly out of pure boredom. When the "applause" sign lights up for what can only be assumed to be the thousandth time, he starts LaughingMad before fatally [[DrivenToSuicide striking his head]] on the railing.
* As soon as the child actor accidentally [[TraumaButton reminds him of Loona's adoption]], Blitzo becomes so irate with trauma that he goes completely '''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness feral]]''', defending the poor pug at gunpoint. As soon as security steps into intervene, the shooting starts.
-->''"I'll NEVER get rid of her!"''
* The plot as a whole is rather scary, as, if one takes away all the demons and magic, the story centers around a sheltered teenager getting lost in a strange place without anyone she knows. Stolas' worries the whole episode are completely justified.
** Made worse when Stolas mentions that he hasn't taught Octavia any spells yet, making it clear that she was extremely vulnerable when venturing out into the human world. It's unlikely, unless Octavia has a true demon form, that she would have been able to fight off attackers if they targeted her.
** Octavia's arrival in L.A has her nearly getting puked on, getting cursed out by an angry street performer who then shoves her into ''oncoming traffic'', overwhelmed by protestors and people in costume, and stared at by horrified onlookers. The poor girl is so overwhelmed that she starts hyperventilating in an alleyway.
** You see how {{Hell}} is described above? Octavia spent nearly 18 years of her life there with little issue (with her privileged status being offset by a broken home, so it counts.), but when she spends a measly ''30 seconds'' on Earth, she's ''terrified''.

[[folder:Exes and Oohs]]
* The [[NightmareFace faces]] Millie makes when she's reminded of Chaz.
* The flashback to Moxxie's childhood: his mother is the only member of the family who shows him any form of affection while his father sees him only as an asset to the family business. It comes to a head when he is made to execute a crucified Imp, presented as if it was a carnival game. Moxxie is three seconds away from hesitantly pulling the trigger before his mother is fed up with Crimson's violent nature, pulling him away by the hand. Later, a terrified Moxxie is seen hiding under the bed, watching his parents argue until Crimson ''viciously'' slaps his mother. Watch the way Crimson interacts with his wife up to and including this argument. When she cuts Moxxie's steak for him, Crimson tries to go in for footsie - only to stomp a foot angrily when she pulls her leg away. And during the argument, watching the way they both move, it looks as though Crimson is forcibly pulling Moxxie's mother in before the slap, at which point she seems to break away and run from the room. [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil The implications are...]] ''[[MaritalRapeLicense ugly.]]''
* At the end of the flashback, we see Crimson forcing Moxxie to drown one of the family's rivals. After the poor, pleading victim is thrown overboard with a cinderblock tied to his tail, the camera pans over to the many, many pieces of clothing belonging to Crimson's past victims, floating on the surface. Including a shoe belonging to ''[[WhamShot Moxxie's mother.]]'' The boat passenger deserves special mention, because ''he calls out Moxxie by name'' before Moxxie tearfully [[CementShoes drops the weight and him with it]].
* Take a look at their family portrait. Crimson is smiling, his wife is smiling, but the young Moxxie has a ThousandYardStare that says ''everything.''
* Chaz's betrayal, in which he makes off with a bag of stolen loot while leaving Moxxie, his partner-in-crime, trapped under a barred door. Moxxie is taken to prison while Chaz gets away without so much as a slap on the wrist.
** When the flashback ends, Millie is ''furious'' with Chaz for abandoning Moxxie, and roars, while foaming at the mouth no less, that "[[VoiceOfTheLegion she'll fucking KILL HIM]]". It takes both Moxxie and Blitzo to stop her from ending Chaz then and there.
* Place yourself in Moxxie's shoes: your father is a stone-cold mafia don that murdered your mother for standing up to him. Your father is so convinced that you're gay that he's installed ''retractable dildos'' in the walls to "celebrate," even though you're bisexual. And he wants you, a happily married man, to marry your estranged ex-boyfriend against your will just so he can be another asset to the family business. And just to add humiliation to horror, he duct-taped your mouth shut, drew a smile on it and forced you into a bridal gown. Is it really any wonder why Moxxie is such a NervousWreck?
* Millie's takedown of Crimson's goons is '''brutal''', to the point where even [[HorrifyingTheHorror Crimson himself]] is utterly terrified. Several of them have ''[[CruelAndUnusualDeath their skulls ripped out of their heads]]'' and her final kill has her dragging a demon behind Chaz's car while he's strangled ''and'' electrocuted to death by the hanging lights from Moxxie's wedding. Let this be a lesson for all of us: ''Do NOT fuck with Moxxie''. Otherwise, bad things will happen. ''[[{{Understatement}} VERY]]'' bad things.
* Chaz's fate at the end. We don't see what happened to him, but we ''do'' see Moxxie's dad [[KilledOffscreen hanging his teeth up on the wall as a trophy]].
* Crimson is an out and about psychopath and not someone you want to be alone in a room with for any stretch of time.
** Him backhanding Moxxie so hard Moxxie is thrown off his feet is played dead serious. The only reason he hasn't killed his own son yet is he wants to, essentially, sell him off to some shark demon for money.
** Crimson's threat to Moxxie as he slinks out of the room makes absolutely no attempt to hide just what Crimson is willing to do to get his way. Richard Horvitz's delivery of the line is straight up ''bone-chilling''.
-->'''Crimson:''' Oh, and Mox...If you ever talk back to me again, you and that pretty little thing you brought here ''[[ImpliedDeathThreat are going home in boxes]]''. Capiche?
** The final scene makes it clear that I.M.P. just gained a new enemy.
** Something else to consider: Moxxie ''did'' defy Crimson again after that threat, by refusing to willingly go along with the wedding and threatening Crimson to his face. Crimson only needs Moxxie alive long enough to marry Chaz and sign over his holdings in the family, maybe not even that long. If Millie and Blitzø hadn't intervened, who's to say Crimson wouldn't have sent his son to the same watery grave once the wedding was finished? After all, a little thing like a forged will wouldn't be beneath him...
* The entire episode reminds us, as established in ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' and previous episodes, that Hell is ''Hell,'' ruled almost entirely by organized criminals who maintain the grip on their territories through violence, intimidation, treachery and utter cruelty. There is no law and order save for an apathetic aristocracy and the influence of rival mafia dons. Even "milder" crimes like robbery and illegal dumping are done in broad daylight, turning the entire Greed ring into a rundown, polluted ghetto. As previously stated, [=VivziePop's=] vision of Hell may as well be [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Commorragh]]. And at the end of the day, Moxxie is '''very''' lucky to be married to a killing machine like Millie.

[[folder:Western Energy]]
* A group of Wrath demons takes offense to Moxxie wearing the same kind of hat as one of them when they stop for gas. It doesn't end well for them, with one in particular being strangled by the gas hose, and when Moxxie drives off he gets ''decapacitated'' by said hose, with the gas station then blowing up for good measure.
* Anyone with trypanophobia can relate to Loona's paralyzing terror throughout the episode. Especially when the doctor [[GiantMedicalSyringe brings out a needle almost the size of Loona herself.]]
* The condition Stolas is in near the end of the episode. He gets stabbed multiple times while his leg is broken and Striker nearly [[EyeScream gouges his eyes out]] before he's interrupted.
* Even though Striker is no longer under contract to kill Stolas, he has escaped once again, and this time we don't know where he went. It's even more nightmarish now than the first time he escaped, especially now that the true depths of his depraved nature have come out. As Striker himself pointed out, Stella's orders are [[ExactWords to keep Stolas alive]], not necessarily ''whole'', so we don't even have the comfort of expecting him to be ''less of a threat'' in future seasons.
* Millie's near-decapitation via flying axe. If the axe landed any differently, she would've been headless. And going by Striker's reaction, he was ''trying to behead her'' and just put too much spin into his throw.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Unhappy Campers]]
* The idea that someone can murder you and you have ''no idea who or why''. The client in this episode admits that all he knows is that one of the counselors did the deed, simply because they're the only ones who knew he couldn't swim and would have been able to drill holes in his boat, but he's not even sure which one.
* In the end, the target is killed by a firework hitting them in the head. You can actually ''see'' them look at it in slow-motion right before it hits and Barbie, Blitzo, and Moxxie are all ''covered'' in their blood. By a strange coincidence, the episode was released just a few days after France was impacted by gigantic riots, provoked by the death of a teenager killed by police violence. During this events, rioters used an abondant amount of fireworks to attack the police officers. There was no policeman killed by the fireworks, but dozens of them were hurt (without counting bystanders and other rioters being themselves hurt by other means). The fictional target's death, even it was exaggerated, had brought some recent memories back to some French viewers who were unlucky enough to witness from first experience what damages can be caused by a firework directly aimed at a person.
* Like in "Seeing Stars", demons from Hell display more humanity than humans themselves. In fact, it may be even worse than the aforementioned episode because at least that one showed humans being moved by M&M's song, while there's none of that here. They're shown to draw the line at (what they think is) incest, but that's a low bar to clear. All this goes to show why Hell is overpopulated with damned souls and how high the cards are stacked against Charlie.
* The relentless bullying Moxxie faces as "Moxxine" is scary for the fact that this is an all-too-common occurrence in real life. What makes it even worse is the campers are supposed to be [[KidsAreCruel preteens]].

[[folder: Oops]]
* Granted, there were like nine of them, but the fact that Fizz's [[AllThereInTheManual quieves]] can reduce a fish demon's corpse to just bones in ''seconds'' is rather chilling. Even actual hell dogs are on a whole different level compared to Earth's.
* As Fizz and Blitzo are having a fight, we cut over to hear that Striker is having a conversation with [[AbusiveParents Crimson.]] That’s right, two of the most vile demons on this show have [[VillainTeamUp teamed up.]] Oh and Striker has not lost his edge at all since it takes him all of three seconds to capture Blitzo and Fizz.
* The first contract Crimson wanted Ozzie to sign would have allowed Crimson to have Fizz's head as a wall decoration. Thankfully, Stolas was present, otherwise Ozzie would have given Crimson the right to kill his lover.
* '''''The infamous circus fire'''''. It's been teased for a few episodes, but we finally get to see the damage that it did and it was ''brutal''. Highlights include:
** How quickly it spread. Almost as soon as Blitzo accidentally causes the blaze via knocking over a birthday cake meant for Fizzarolli, the tent is already completely up in flames.
** Fizzarolli's horribly burnt and mangled body, made worse by the fact he was implied to be a young teen. This also comes with a shot of [[BodyHorror Fizz's flesh]] ''[[BodyHorror melting]]'' [[BodyHorror off his bones]] as his horns burn up. No wonder he needed robotic limbs in the modern day.
** While not as bad, Blitzo's own injuries were not pretty either. Frankly, [[EyeScream it's a miracle that he still has two working eyes]].
** The very heavy implications that Blitzo's mother died in the fire, meaning that it's implied Blitzo's first kill wasn’t only an accident, but ''his own mother''.
* The [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything horrifying implications]] of why Fizz and Blitzo thought the other never wanted to see them. Fizz asks him why he never came to visit and explain that it was an accident. Blitzo says ''he tried'', but [[YouKnowTheOne "they"]] told him Fizz didn't want to see him. Fizz is ''shocked'' by this, claiming he ''never'' told “them” that, and "they" never told him he came. It's not elaborated in this episode if this "they" was anyone in particular (likely Cash, who'd have every reason to keep Blitzo away after destroying everything, or Mammon, who would absolutely stand to benefit from cutting Fizz off from people who cared about him) or just the people helping Fizz in general. Either way, ''someone'' purposefully lied to ''both of them'' to keep them apart, causing their friendship to sour and not speak to each other for ''fifteen years''.
* Striker's SanitySlippage. By the end of the episode, the normally well groomed cowboy is sporting wild hair and a messed up mustache and makes it clear that he's sick of losing to Blitzo and IMP. When Blitzo sets him on fire he loses it even further and scurries off like a ''literal'' animal, feral and snarling. And now that he's working with Crimson, who knows what kind of firepower he's going to be packing in future encounters with Blitzo.

[[folder:MAMMON’S MAGNIFICENT MUSICAL MID-SEASON SPECIAL (ft Fizzarolli)]]
* '''[[AbhorrentAdmirer ARICK.]]''' The sheer amount of RealismInducedHorror he invokes as a StalkerWithACrush who feels a [[EntitledToHaveYou creepy sense of entitlement]] towards Fizzarolli, even going so far as to try and ''kill him'', makes him one of the show's most disturbing villains thus far. The second time we see him he actually causes Fizz to have a ''panic attack''. Making matters worse is how the people behind the show have dealt with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BypVZbWCEYE&ab_channel=bernievidz a rather similar individual in the past]].
** During said second appearance, we see a few of his fantasies to what he thinks his life would be like if Fizz had listened to him and one of them shows Fizz chained to him wearing what looks like a gimp suit. EntitledToHaveYou doesn't even ''begin'' to describe this guy. This makes it ''very'' clear that Fizz [[MortonsFork saying yes to him when they met for the first time would be just as bad as rejecting him, if not worse]]. Luckily for him, this is probably one of the few times MurderIsTheBestSolution.
* Mammon's no slouch either. His treatment of Fizzarolli as an abusive manager who exploits Fizz and treats him less as a person and more as a personal little moneymaker is another case of RealismInducedHorror. Seeing Fizz finally quit is satisfying as hell.
** To those with arachnophobia who thought the Hellaverse could never scare them with the lovable spider-hybrid that is [[WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel Angel Dust]], you're in for a fright. Mammon's ''true'' form is a [[MonsterClown clown]] with [[SpidersAreScary spider legs]].
*** Speaking of WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel, many fans have expressed horror over the fact the portrayal of Mammon's abusive relationship towards Fizzarolli is merely just an ''appetizer'' to how much worse ''Valentino'' is going to be towards Angel...
** On the one hand, Asmodeus openly admitting his feelings for Fizz breaks any hold that Mammon might have had over them via blackmail. On the other hand, while he DidntSeeThatComing, Mammon makes it clear to Asmodeus that he'll find a way to exploit this revelation before disappearing with an EvilLaugh.
** Said departure unleashes an explosion of hellfire that levels the tent and causes lots of collateral damage, making it clear that Mammon doesn't care about who gets caught in the crossfire of his antics.
*** Mammon earlier teleported without doing anything besides giving off green smoke. So either he lost control due to being so upset, or ''deliberately'' caused the damage.
* While talking to Ozzie backstage, Fizz removes his hat, revealing that all that's left of his horns are burnt stumps!
* Glitz and Glam getting abruptly crushed by a pillar. While that may not seem like much, considering how characters on this show have been shown repeatedly to be MadeOfIron, we don't see them again after this, making one wonder how badly they were hurt. However, WordOfGod confirms that they're still alive.

** Especially creepy is that, like an owl, [[AbnormalLimbRotationRange he just spins his head all the way around]] and glares at the threatening imp. That's all it takes to immediately turn the imp to stone.

* In the photo Paimon shows Stolas of Stella, she's [[EnfantTerrible violently strangling a dog.]] Is it any wonder why Stolas starts bawling upon being told that he's marrying her? Not to mention, she raises a hand to him at the end of the episode <i> very </i> easily and Stolas managed to grab her wrist to stop her.
